Albert & Otto was to be the first part of titular heroes' adventures. It failed on many fronts, it failed technically, it failed as a story telling device and it finally failed as a game. Style is not enough, when the core gameplay mechanic – controls – is done bad in the game that exclusively relays on it.

Even though I died way more than I thought I would, I still had a blast playing K Bros Games' title.
The cinematic platformer had a very simple formula to follow and it isn't hard to make an appealing game in this genre. There have been so many over the years and the recent influx of independent developers doing their take on the whole 'kid in a nightmarish world' sub genre, there are more options now than ever. This should be at the very bottom of...
Albert and Otto adds a new title to the platform genre, with blends of ingenious puzzles. Although they are neither too difficult nor too difficult or inspired, there are moments in which the game rises in difficulty, breaking the slower pace of the rest of the adventure.
Albert & Otto is a decent puzzle platformer with some interesting ideas. It's a bit rough around the edges, but hopefully this has set the stage for some refinement if a second episode is ever created. Check out Albert & Otto if you desire a short but intriguing puzzler and can power through some awkward platforming.
